3DBenchy

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 3 Nov 2024 at 19:48:50 (UTC)

Reason: Has anyone ever tried a 3D model nomination here? I haven't seen one, and I figured 3DBenchy would be a worthy attempt. 3DBenchy is a calibration object designed to stress test 3D printers. It is open-source and (in certain circles) quite famous. If you prefer to grade it purely as an image, the largest 2D preview is well over the minimum pixel count and the underlying file is almost 11 MB.

Comment – I think this is going to be a tough sell based on how poorly mediawiki renders previews of STL files, but if we were going to feature an STL file either this or File:Utah teapot (solid).stl would be good candidates. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 20:03, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A thought crossed my mind that what we really need is a wiki project called Featured Multimedia, which could handle all the file types that aren't images (and perhaps videos, since Featured Pictures has a prior claim on those). I discovered there was Wikipedia:Featured sounds, but it's been dormant since 2011. That catalog would make a good starting point for Featured Multimedia. Moonreach (talk) 20:42, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - edges are a pixel mess! The teapot is clean, would support that. --Janke | Talk 07:29, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I worry about the licensing situation with the teapot. Our copy is tagged CC, but it's a recreation of someone else's 3D model, which is in turn a recreation of a commercial article. It's possible the pathway is still clear - I don't know what the college's license is, and I believe in the US functional items can't have their designs copyrighted, but that's still more hoops than I want to jump through. Moonreach (talk) 15:36, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – If we're going to start allowing 3D models into FP, then we may aswell rename it from Featured Pictures to Featured Media ―Howard • 🌽³³ 08:46, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
See my comment above - I wonder if there is enough interest (and enough such material) that a separate project might be worthwhile. I would estimate that all sounds, videos and 3D objects in Commons are still lesser in number than all the pictures, but they still represent a substantial amount of the media Wikimedia has to offer. Moonreach (talk) 15:59, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Planet Stories cover, 1940

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 3 Nov 2024 at 20:57:30 (UTC)

Original – The cover of the Autumn 1940 issue of Planet Stories, a pulp magazine that ran from 1939 to 1955

Reason: No single cover can fully encapsulate pulp magazines, but this one has a lot of good stuff: A spaceman with a jetpack and a raygun carrying an improbably dressed woman, while in the background some kind of futuristic machine explodes. The scan quality is good, and captures the halftone printing dots, which are functionally the resolution limit of the source image. I did a light crop to remove a white line on the right side, but I don't want to get too crop-happy, since this is a time-worn physical object and has somewhat uneven edges because of it.
Articles in which this image appears: Pulp magazine, Ray Cummings, later added: Planet Stories

Comment – EV? – Sca (talk) 12:55, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely agree that EV could be an issue. We have numerous FAs on pulp magazines, to use one that doesn't have an article to represent the genre would be problematic. Having an article on Planet Stories would ameliorate that concern. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:15, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Oops, we have an FA on Planet Stories. It would definitely do better here if were in that article. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:51, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Will support if it's in the Planet Stories article. Has higher resolution than other images in that article. Bammesk (talk) 20:09, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I saw. I'll leave a message with that editor and see if there's another place in the article it can go. Moonreach (talk) 18:57, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I talked it over with them and put it in a different spot on the page that they suggested. I don't know if the article will prove stable or not, but it's back in for now, and it is stable on the other pages. Moonreach (talk) 19:37, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Alright, I see that Mike Christie and yourself discussed it at his talk page. Always happy to see consensus building. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 21:29, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I think that, with a consensus to keep the image in the article, the stability criterion should be fulfilled. Just as a note, my concern was not that an item should not represent its class; rather, I think that class representation would best be done by a work that is discussed in detail by an article on the class. In this case, Planet Stories was one of a list of publications from the peak of the genre's popularity, as opposed to (say) The Popular Magazine, which is discussed in detail. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 21:29, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: @Tagooty: too much sky at the top perhaps? Nythar (💬-🍀) 19:29, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The headroom is aesthically pleasing to me. This FPC which is likely to get promoted has much more empty space. Tagooty (talk) 03:02, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
True, but the Eurasian chaffinch photo is almost square shaped, so the empty space at the top is less noticeable. That bird's tail is also higher up compared with the Blue-throated barbet. This bird on the other hand and the branch it's on appear oddly low in the image, an issue that becomes evident if you view the image on fullscreen (compounded by the fact that the image is vertical). The tail to head distance and the position of the bird just seem a bit off. Reducing the top by about 1/4 or 1/3 could solve this issue in my opinion. Regards, Nythar (💬-🍀) 04:16, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done Fair enough. I've cropped it for more uniform space on all sides. Uploaded with a "crop" filename as the original is QI and FP on Commons. --Tagooty (talk) 09:14, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think it could go slightly further. Using Photoshop's rulers, I'm seeing that the head has 175px more space than the tail. The left-right margins are also unabalanced, but in that case there are branches and whatnot that allow the eye to follow. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:13, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Having the head a little closer to the middle of the image than the tail is justified for 2 reasons: From the aesthetic PoV, an unbalanced layout is more appealing than geometric balance. From the EV PoV, the most interesting part of the bird is the multi-coloured head, neck and bill (see Description). Tagooty (talk) 03:32, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Caricature of Wang Lianying

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 5 Nov 2024 at 15:22:17 (UTC)

Original – A caricature of Wang Lianying, a courtesan who was murdered for her jewellery in 1920; this illustration, prepared by Jefferson Machamer, accompanied coverage of the trial in New York Tribune

Reason: High quality scan of a piece of newspaper art. The murder of Wang Lianying, a famed courtesan, captured imaginations in Shanghai, and the case was even reported in the international press. This image, which accompanied coverage of the trial in the New York Tribune, illustrates that international coverage; it also provides an early example of artwork by Jefferson Machamer, who developed a reputation for depicting glamourous women.

Yann, no I don't think so. The beams on the telescope's housing are vertical. Bammesk (talk) 01:08, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, weird that the horizon is so sloping... Yann (talk) 11:15, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's not really horizon. Just layers of mountains (horizon would be past the mountains). I understand if you don't like it. Bammesk (talk) 03:10, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely titled. If the camera is pointing down the lines on a building will not be vertical ro|3ek (talk) 17:24, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Photographers often correct that type of perspective tilt, so the lines come out vertical. See this recent nomination for example where we fixed the tilt ourselves. Bammesk (talk) 03:10, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support – All the lines that should be vertical (the dome aperture, the silo-type things) are. I think the mountains really do just slope downward like that. Moonreach (talk) 16:33, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I double-checked, and the silos aren't truly vertical, although they're close. The exterior vertical elements on the observatory base are, though. It's possible that there really is a tilt here, but if there is, it's much more subtle that then horizon line suggests. Moonreach (talk) 19:41, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. That was wide-angle lens distortion. I thought it wasn't significant, but since you noticed it . . . now fixed. BTW the silos are water tanks. Bammesk (talk) 00:15, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To illustrate the camera rotation in this photo as per discussion above, I don't have a lens correction profile for the drone used here, so the perspective lines won't quite match. ro|3ek (talk) 13:23, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I disagree. The camera is pointing northeast. Google Earth here and here and the elevation map here confirm that's the natural slope of the mountains. In the screenshots, the observatory is at the center of the red circles. Some mountainous skylines just aren't horizontal. Bammesk (talk) 01:14, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

George Floyd protests

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 8 Nov 2024 at 13:17:30 (UTC)

Original – A man stands on top of a car during the George Floyd protests in 2020. The protests were the largest to ever take place in the United States, and spread worldwide.

Reason: A really good image of the events, it shows the chaos and has relatively high EV. Framing is also good. It definitely catches my eye whenever I read the article. May need slight perspective correction, but I believe the image is supposed to line up with the man, and not the other objects, which makes sense.

Double-bladed solar diffraction spike in Hyde Park Chicago urban canyon

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 8 Nov 2024 at 18:16:15 (UTC)

Original – A golden hour double-bladed solar diffraction spike in a Chicago urban canyon near the time of the fall equinox when the sunrise and sunset is in the middle of east-west streets in Chicago.

Reason: Shooting the brightest light source is a challenge. Capturing a solar diffraction spike in the context of an urban canyon at the golden hour was a particular challenge for me. In order to execute this image, I undertook my first attempt at bracketing and compositing. On the day I shot, I executed about a half dozen different 7-picture autobracketing sequences with full-stop increments from -3 to 3 in under 10 minutes on this camera while the sun was visible in this urban canyon. I prefer this one because the sunburst/diffraction spike has an appealling shape (especially in article space thumbs). Furthermore, in this sequence the rare double-bladed spikes are uniform throughout the scene. I composited it using free Canon software that is limited to 3 source files. Since I metered to the main subject, I ended up relying on the overexposed sequence elements to composite. The best result here uses the 1- and 3-stop sequence elements. It is slightly better than 1/ 2/ 3 and 2/ 3 versions that are also on commons. I apologize that I cropped out so many pixels, but at the time I only had one good tripod for a three camera setup and this camera was hanging off of another camera at a 15 degree tilt. For a first attempt at bracketing/compositing with free software, this is a pretty solid result. I think this diffraction spike really pops in thumbnail size that you see in article space.

Looks like you've put a lot of effort into planning of the shoot. It can get stressful when you're time constrained like in this case. The problem is that the photo is not a great illustration of an urban canyon. The buildings on the left are only 3 storey high. See Manhattanhenge for comparison. It also doesn't quite work as an illustration of the golden hour. All the buildings are backlit and therefore in the shadow so you're not showing what the red light does to the landscape.ro|3ek (talk) 22:55, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- User:Robek, this was actually a practice session two days before Chicagohenge, which turned out to have bad weather this year. You have educated me on the golden hour. Your point about the buildings being backlit is certainly true, but the red light is quite visible on the street surface. On the left between the Hotel Del Prado in the foreground and the Hyde Park–Kenwood National Bank Building off in the distance are 3 story buildings. However, if you read the urban canyon article this is defined as an Avenue canyon in the 3 story stretches and a regular or deep canyon in other stretches. On the 2nd of the two actual days of Chicagohenge 3 days later, I went downtown to photograph deep canyons. I was amid deeper canyons, but the diffraction spikes were less presentable. The diffraction spike is actually the focus of the image. I have reordered the article usage in this regard moving diff spike to first.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:56, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- P.S. the point of Xhenge photography is to show the beauty of the sunset or sunrise in the context of architecture. None of the sun photos in Manhattanhenge article show a particularly artistic sun. Most of them are just glowing masses. This nomination presents a splendid diffraction spike. Except for maybe one red presentation, I don't think Manhattanhenge has good sun presentations. The article does present the crowd gatherings in all their glory. However, I had better red rings with my longest lens on another camera, because I had concentric red rings around the sun rather than that. I do aspire to get more picturesque results in deeper canyons in future years.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:21, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree with calling it "washed-out blacks". Because this copy has more detail in the darker areas than the other versions (compare at same magnification). Ansel Adams had his own unconventional developing and printing techniques. So his highlights and blacks aren't always conventional. I am not an expert but that's what I've read about him.

I edited the image and uploaded Alt 1, per Janke (restored spots) and per Moonreach (adjusted darker levels at the bottom). In the nom version (Original), the darker levels are noticeably brighter at the bottom. That's not the case in these versions: [1][2][3]. Looking at other images at the source link [4], these are prints, and in some scans light leaks around the edges throwing off the darker levels, examples [5][6]. I think that explains it and justifies adjusting the levels at the bottom of the nom image. On a different note: I think Library of Congress has a higher resolution scan, but does not allow downloads because of copyright, even though publication was 1927 and copyright has expired. We can do a "delist and replace" nom when the LOC copy becomes available. Support Alt 1. Bammesk (talk) 19:14, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Sinking of the Lusitania

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 10 Nov 2024 at 13:36:47 (UTC)

Original – The Sinking of the Lusitania (1918) is an American silent animated short film by cartoonist Winsor McCay. It is a work of propaganda re-creating the never-photographed 1915 sinking of the British liner RMS Lusitania. At twelve minutes, it has been called the longest work of animation at the time of its release. The film is the earliest surviving animated documentary and serious, dramatic work of animation. The National Film Registry selected it for preservation in 2017.

Reason: a very impressive early animated film by Winsor McCay, and also, a featured article on English Wikipedia

Not entirely sure as to the quality of this digitization. It's jittery, and the title screen seems corrupted somehow. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 18:29, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, for several separate reasons. The first is that this has analog artifacting that suggests it was transferred to (and later from) a tape; the second is digital artifacting, such as excess compression and combing. The third is more nuanced: I'm worried about the accuracy of this, given that it's an American artist's conception of an event that was known exclusively through reports by the Soviet Union, an entity with both the motive and habit of lying. To present this as a featured picture would, I think, be tantamount to endorsing it as factual, something we can't verify. I think it's a neat piece of history, but I don't think it makes the grade for featured picture. Moonreach (talk) 15:31, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It features Kathryn McGuire, Joe Keaton, and Ward Crane. In 1991, Sherlock Jr. was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Einstein, Steinmetz, Sarnoff at Marconi Radio Station

Reason: Early pioneers of radio science and technology in the United States including Charles Steinmetz, David Sarnoff, Irving Langmuir and Alfred Goldsmith in 1921, photographed next to the antenna feed wires of the New Brunswick Marconi Station, one of the first transatlantic radio links. Photo includes Albert Einstein as a visiting guest. The image has good EV in the History of radio article. I added it there yesterday. I rewrote this reason section (simpler and more to the point).

It isn't about the event or Einstein. It's about the 11 notable people who are in it (excluding Einstein), five of whom are pioneers in the development of radio in the U.S. The other six made major contributions. The location is a plus too, the photo was shot at the site of the most advanced transmitter in the U.S., one of the first transatlantic stations, the station had an important military role in WWI.

We can't expect everyone who refers to an encyclopedia to be familiar with every subject. In fact, people refer to encyclopedias because they are not familiar. Bammesk (talk) 03:25, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

After much thought, Oppose. I went back and forth with myself on this, and spent a lot of time looking at the image in detail. It's information-rich, but only in that it captures a complete lack of coherence. I once opposed an image of tornado destruction for this; in both cases, the destruction was so complete that the image didn't make any kind of visual sense to me. I've also thought over Bammesk's response to my earlier comment, and I think I still disagree about this being a good showcase of the server as a 3D environment. In addition to the visual noise, this is an orthographic projection rather than one with converging perspective, and that stops it from looking like a real 3D space. I can't even really say I think this illustrates the server itself well, apart from the anarchic nature, because I'm not a Minecraft player and I have no idea what the various terrain elements represent, either in their own terms or in gameplay. It's good that we have this picture for this article, but even with the understanding the featured images don't have to be aesthetically pleasing I don't think it's feature-worthy.

Weak support – There's stuff I like here and stuff I don't. The EV is excellent; I've never seen an unbroken recording of a complete descent from space before. The fire trail during the initial atmospheric entry is phenomenal. But there's a lot of footage that's just banging sounds and visual glare. I get that this was probably the best video possible under these conditions, so that isn't enough to kill my support, but I doubt anyone is actually going to sit through the whole thing is wonderment. That said, I do still support the uncut video for EV purposes, and the argument that it's too long doesn't seem fair to me, given the number of feature-length films we've promoted. Moonreach (talk) 16:55, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The banging sounds are trajectory controls. (per the first few seconds of video caption, also: [7]) Bammesk (talk) 02:43, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Good EV in the Atmospheric entry article. I like it all, the sounds, glares, parachutes, etc. The fact that it's uncut and in real time adds to its EV, and that it takes only 25 minutes to go through the entire journey.

The Infernal Cauldron

Original – A hand-colored print of The Infernal Cauldron, a 1903 trick film by influential director Georges Méliès.

Reason: Great quality copy of a hand-colored short silent film. The film itself isn't especially famous, so while the file has obvious EV for the article about it specifically, I think its highest value is illustrating the film's genre, that of the trick film. Trick films were essentially special effects demos and the genre went extinct as the industry matured. This is a great snapshot of what cinema looked like in the age before established conventions.

Comment – The link here has a restoration copyright claim (the last frame). Does it hold water? I doubt it, but I am not sure. Hope others can opine. Bammesk (talk) 19:05, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Restorations for still images tend to be ignored in terms of copyright. That being said, I see that the 4K restoration of Night of the Living Dead was granted a copyright, so there exists a possibility for a moving image. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:41, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks. Some restorations don't rise to the level of originality. Suggest placing an inquiry at Commons:Village pump/Copyright and if they dismiss the claim, then it's all good. Bammesk (talk) 17:30, 17 November 2024 (UTC) . . . . I placed an inquiry for an opinion on Commons. Bammesk (talk) 02:24, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Chris:, regarding granting of copyright to the 4K restoration of Night of the Living Dead, the only source I could find is This film review, which is not binding. I suppose there is a copyright notice on the restored film itself, which wouldn't be binding either, because that would just be a claim. I found This discussion in a forum (regarding the 4K restoration), it mirrors the Commons discussion Here. Interestingly, the forum discussion says a 'copyright registration' is just a registration, and not equivalent to the 'granting of copyright'. From what I gathered, the 4K restored Night of the Living Dead was released with additional documentary footage, not film footage, but additional explanatory content, therefore the explanatory additions themselves could be covered by copyright. Just my non-expert opinion. Bammesk (talk) 02:42, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support – I am confident the nominated film (which has no music) will survive a "deletion request" on Commons. Compared to older copies of the film (on YouTube), the restoration is solely technical. Granted the restoration must have started from a good quality scan of the original film. The restoration contains no creative additions of content. Based on This discussion and the feedback I got Here, solely improving the technical quality of a film does not warrant new copyrights. Bammesk (talk) 02:42, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

EF5 damage in Greensburg

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 28 Nov 2024 at 15:08:19 (UTC)

Original – EF5 damage to homes in Greensburg, Kansas in the aftermath of the 2007 Greensburg tornado. 95% of the town was damaged to some degree. The tornado was the first to be rated 5 on the EF scale, and the deadliest in the history of Kiowa and Comanche counties.

Reason: Damage from the 2007 Greensburg tornado. Usually tornado damage wouldn't stand out or be of high EV, but this is the first example of EF5 damage in recorded history (the Fujita Scale was used until early 2007). Good composition aswell. The tornado killed eleven, injured nearly seventy others, and left a path of total destruction in its wake. Although the caption doesn't state where the EF5 damage is, seven buildings in the downtown area sustained EF5 damage, and this is basically a photo of the entire downtown.

Comment - Very good for the age, but it feels like it needs breathing room. Crop is awfully tight. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:35, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support – I see no problem with the crop. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 23:48, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose – sorry, good subject and EV, but I really don't like the shadows on the face of the building (top middle, and bottom right). I find them distracting. The camera is facing north, so this was shot later in the day. A few hours earlier would have reduced the shadows considerably, or if the photo was shot on an overcast day.

Support. The shadows are okay with me; they bring out the texture in the facade. – Moonreach (talk) 18:28, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
